Abstract: BACKGROUND: Ischemic stroke is a highly prevalent disease associated with apoptosis. Neuronal death occurs after cerebral ischemia, including necrosis and apoptosis. The ischemic core region is dominated by necrosis, while delayed neuronal death in the penumbra is dominated by apoptosis. The penumbra has become a target for the treatment of ischemic stroke. This bibliometric analysis was used to identify the characteristics, hotspots, and frontiers of global scientific output related to apoptosis in ischemic stroke over the past 5 years. 
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the role of apoptosis and its mechanisms in the pathological process of ischemic stroke through a bibliometric approach.
METHODS: A total of 927 relevant literature records from 2018 to 2022 were retrieved from Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded) and Social Science Citation Index Expanded (SSCI-Expanded) of the Web of Science Core Collection. Research trends and hotspots of apoptosis in ischemic stroke were visualized using Citespace, VOSviewer and Bibliometrix. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: From 2018 to 2020, the number of papers on the role of apoptosis in ischemic stroke showed an upward trend, but in 2020, the number of papers began to reduce. China had the largest number of publications, and the United States ranked the second. Capital Medical University and BRAIN RESEARCH BULLETIN were the institutions and journals with the most articles, respectively. In recent years, the two keywords “expression” and “oxidative stress” have appeared more frequently. The bibliometric study showed that in the past 5 years, most of the studies focused on basic research, in which research on the role of apoptosis in ischemic stroke has gradually decreased in the last 3 years, showing a downward trend. On the contrary, nerve regeneration has gradually become a research hotspot, especially the regulation of neurotrophic factors under the influence of different mechanisms, and the research on angiogenesis and glial cell repair is on the rise. At the same time, apoptosis in nerve regeneration is a potential point of discovery.
